Before

Stripped everything out and made a plan....sorta

post-77839-0-11222200-1424475622_thumb.j

 

Cut a few bit of the case off

Fabricated a PSU cover to hide all those pesky wires

Fabricated a new corner to get rid off any holes etc.. i didnt need, also got rid of the 200mm fan and opted for 2 140mm fans (still need to buy them), i think it looks better

Test fit

Decided to paint the armor on my Z97 sabertooth

And of course i had to paint the radiator to match the other one which was white too

And then the assembly process and new tube routing

Almost done, i want to get some sleeved cables, and i havent decided on any case fans yet, also ill probably get a pastel colour for the loop, dont know what colour, all in all i think just making up those 2 panels and running rigid tube  has cleaned it up alot. im still going to make a panel for the holes in the left side just to finish it up. im pretty happy with it.........atleast for now.

Good job.

Maybe white heat spreaders on the RAM, dark as possible fluid.

Or Black heat spreaders white or clear as is fluid.

 

Lots of air in the fluid, mind you that should 'come out over the next couple of days.

I hate those guys. Congrats, you can find news stories and do a boring commentary on your opinion on it.

 

 

 

Nice mod :D

I take it you're talking about 'The Hodgetwins' channel, in which they talk about different topics. Yeah, i don't really watch those videos. Only askhodgetwins TwinMuscleWorkout and Fasting Twins where they talk about questions and emails that they have received.
